    W Hotel | 100 Stuart St | Theater District

    Re: W Hotel One easy solution would be to allow venues selling liquor to get the same licenses as those for Chinatown.

    Jane Jacobs' Neighborhood

    She also spent some time in the book praising the North End, which she notes in the 60s was considered a very bad slum. Her thesis was a strong rebuttal of the Mumford-ian ideal of Garden City progressivism, places that *seemed* slums were entirely the opposite. She actually has commented on...

    Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research | MIT | Cambridge

    Re: MIT - Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research I feel that it seems unnecessary to disconnect Main street from Broadway/3rd street. They could redo that intersection so it isn't more complicated but, you could go from 3rd to main. I always have found main street to be pretty dead...

    Deval Patrick: How I'll change Mass transit

    How is talking about highways related to his subject of changing Mass Transit? I think he should come out with some more specifics re: the MBTA.

    Possible ArchBoston.com Awards?

    I think reducing the awards down to something a little more manageable and sensible would work. I can see the "in-development" awards becoming complicated as many projects are multi-year and I think the point shouldn't be to have one development running through the awards every year. So I...

    Scale on Boylston and Newbury

    I wonder how that backside will be impacted, for better or worse, by the Parcel 7 development (and garage that is going there).

    Wilkerson

    Not to take anything away from Wilkerson's culpability, but this should also raise the spectre of just what a mess the liquor licensing system is, and how it encourages such graft. Too bad no one is using this opportunity to reform it.

    Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. I wasn't sure on the nomenclature for the two parts of the Congress garage proposal; the other building's more detailed renderings are at this post

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. Wow, they should really tighten and shrink (get rid of the curved right turn lanes and square the corners!) that massive car-centric intersection there (is that how it is now?). EDIT: this picture also shows just how much an abomination the b parcel...

    Bulfinch Crossing | Congress Street Garage | West End

    Re: Congress St Garage is being sold. The taking of the police station are gives this a pretty large footprint (and the loss of another alley if i remember previously). Is there a reason (both towers on this footprint)? Maybe they want another mall inside?

    Commonwealth Avenue Improvement Project

    That is the biggest problem with all the work on Cambridge Street. The overhead lights, the sheer number of them, just ruin it.

    Commonwealth Avenue Improvement Project

    They expanded the sidewalk on the Commonwealth hotel side to Brookline St, but then as it goes down brookline it tapers down to the old width! They should have kept it the same extended width as the rest of that side of Brookline St.

    Re: Copley Place plan calls for condo tower So I guess you don't have time to write about that orphaned Columbus Center?
